Looks like practically the entire Nice N Ripe back catalogue is up on Juno now. If I could afford it I'd buy the lot. The motherlode...

wow that looks top... gonna get on this. dont know the catalogue as well as i should - what in particular do people recommend?
Can you believe I just finished ripping my whole vinyl collection of the label a few weeks ago not knowing this :slanted:
Ice Cream have been digitally re-releasing some old tunes as well, now someone get Confetti to do the same!!
Neither do I, lots of unfamiliar names, but I can definitely vouch for DC Sensation (aka Jeremy Sylvester i think) 'Precision EP', thats a monster- very junglist sounding. Also 'Love is what you need' by Living Large (also JS?) but there are loads of remixes of that and i can't remember which is the best.
edit: the GI Sly tracks on this comp as well are immense http://www.junodownload.com/products/zest4life-catalogue-001-031/1938425-02/
I try to avoid it if I can have the vinyl with me, but I've done it a few times.bummer...do you ever play the vinyl rips out?
I managed to pick up a few of those Confetti records for cheap in bargain bin once, but the prices on discogs are ridiculous now. For me the stuff on Confetti and what I've heard of Nice N Ripe is some of the best, most jungly sounding garage I've ever heard. Jeremy Sylvester was such a don! G.O.D., Strickly Dubz, 24 hour Experience etc etc...
Looks great but what about the sq? Wasn't really happy with the quality of most of the tracks on the "Best of Jeremy Sylvester" comps...
